Imagine how many mobile chargers this guy has now...

Zack: * went into phone store * Every single phone there: * sweats nervously *

You know Zack... If they survive the bend/scratch/burn test and the in-depth (going inside the phone) test... Maybe you could integrate a drop test follow-up... Awesome content!

Me : watching on my redmi note 7 My Note 7 : **sweats nervously**

Drop tests should also be included. After all, it is the most common abuse that a cellphone must survive.

Using my redmi note 7 since last 2 years and surprisingly not even a single scratch lol it still works as smooth as butter.

Imagine bend test on Galaxy Fold.

Plastic frame is not mainly for cost cutting, it's primary purpose is to save glass from shattering if phone drops on its sides

I will buy a note 7 tomorrow, and it's good to know the level of durabillity that the device provides, the weak (and strong) points and how far you can go with it, so I could be careful with it in the future, thank you Jerry, you surely helped a lot of people especially with budget chinese phones.

I'm watching on a redmi note 7. I'm telling you it didn't pass the durability test but it's heckin cheap compared to others and performance very nice. Bought mine for $150 usd, 6 months now and still heckin good

Zach killing the durability game!! 👌🔥

Wow, phones in general have become more durable, if this is Zacks least durable phone of the year. And even this phone at least almost survived. I remember the Nexus 6P, Nextbit Robin, Honor 6X etc. which did far worse than this one. You really have an impact on the phone manufacturers. Keep the work up man💪

“Scratches at level 6, with deeper grooves at level 7” That should be on your merch, Zack, no kidding.

Hi Jerry, Thanks for this informative video. I am using redmi note 7 pro which has nearly identical build like redmi note 7. Here's my honest opinion. 1. I completely agree that most common alloys such as stainless steel comes with hardness lower than that of glass on level 6. Therefore all the pocket objects such as coins or keys aren't really a threat to glass panel. 2. The reality is something different. I got a ugly scratch on my camera lens within just few days despite being used with a cover. Thankfully that really affect the image quality. But it's disappointing because it's glass. Here's what I found: I believe common dust has more abrasive properties as compared to other objects. They don't really leave very deep straight grooves but, series of soft bubble like scratches. They're more responsible for daily life wear. The composition of dust varies greatly depending upon the environmental conditions of that area. But, they may comprise of particles of silica, ceramics and glasses, limestone, amorphous carbon, etc. Many of them are harder than glass and very very common to find on any outdoor use. Therefore, I would suggest to also include a dust resistance test to get an idea of these in real life. I believe, smartphone manufacturers should consider this as a priority in design.

caught me off guard with the invincible fingerprint scanner, so thats where all the phone durability went 😆

“Cell phones are the most abused tech” Game controllers: Am I a joke to you?

The frame actually is the thing below the plastic and the glass, in normal phones. That is why the pocophone doesn't break. Unfortunately, this note 7 was more focused in technology and looks, reducing the build quality. However, I'm sure it will be much more resistant than any of the new m series from Samsung.

thank you for this review, i have this phone for 6 months now and i don't use it without the case for the probability of blend, but fortunately it seems to be strong enough, i have dropped a few times and used on mtb, running, calisthenics and trips and it has be a champion, the only thing that breakes every time is the screen protector, nowadays those things are made of eggs it seems

Applause for this guy for not using gloves 👏👏

I personally do not mind the plastic that much. Since I use the case that you get with the phone, I do not have to worry about scratches, and it has a better chance of surviving when dropped. My friend dropped his phone with a metal frame, and his screen cracked not from the impact of the fall itself, but from the metal frame basically shattering the screen. P.S. I'm not trying to say that a plastic frame is better, just saying that there are always pros and cons to something.

This made me so upset, but just like a reactor melting down I can't stop watching! Thanks for doing the stress test for me, I'm convinced this will be my first new phone in over 4 years.

My father has the redmi note 7 pro it's been 11 months since he got it and I gotta say it is an amazing phone! It runs all the high graphic games smoothly and the camera is just spectacular.

You haven't broken a phone in awhile so you were definitely overdue. Thanks for the video. Keep em coming.

Watching this on my redmi note 7 with no scratches after 3 years and everything still working smoothly 😎

TG wasn't wrong. Now it's proven. We can always trust Zach.

It is not always about the durability. It is how you use and care about your phone.

Just bought this phone. It's pretty and unexpectedly high quality in it's specs and feel. Watching this man murder the very model in my hands was.... Pretty funny. 😂🤣😅 Thanks for the show, mang! I'll get a proper case!

Looking forward to the redmi note 9 pro review (what i'm watching this on)... It's an awesome phone with 4 cameras on the back and water resistance, 5000mah battery, the same plastic frame but the phone is a bit thicker

If jerry was a quality checking manager of mobile company then that company phone will never fails in durability test 😅😂

Even though I'm now watching this video from Xiaomi Redmi 7, it's even cheaper sibling, it still gave me chills. And btw I've been using this phone since mid-2019, it's still kicking strong! Just the batteries has been replaced, but that's mainly because I used this phone like a maniac lol.

Every phone is foldable if you're strong enough - MKBHD 2019

Thanks for the video and summary on the description. Not only price and speed, we also have to consider durability of the phone because we always drop it

Zack, you should durability test the Xiaomi Mi A3, it's quite a tough cookie I believe. Plus it costs only about $200

I had my redmi note7 for 1year and 4months and it really bends easily. Apparently my pocket killed it, with the mainboard bent

I’ve been considering the Redmi for awhile now and this is just what I need. If I do get one, case and screen protector are a must.

I've been using redmi note 7 for an year, dropped a hundred times, but still looks new and function ad well.its really great for a 12000₹ phone

Samsung: Foldable phone for 1800 $ Xiaomi: Foldable phone for just 180$

5:23 I guess that "cheap porous metal support" thingy is there to protect the phone from bending or being crushed in case you use one of those clamp type mounts for your car or bike.

Jerry, Thanks to you now I have a fear of bending my smartphone in my pocket. But I bought it all exactly. I do not know with what force you bent it and in general what efforts you exert.

Every time he cuts the border I get anxiety and think he’s gonna cut his finger 🤣🤣🤣

That's amazing how after the second bend it still was fine

Thanks man... Now we know.... We should never abuse our phones like that....

Now Jerry needs to unleash his fury on the Samsung Galaxy S10+

My redmi note 3 took a hell lot of abuse, and for close $150 with a decent camera and Snapdragon 650 back in 2016, it was awesome and still running flawlessly. I won't say bend tests are completely meaningless, but I don't count bend tests as deal breakers. Everyone knows how big of a hit Nexus 6P was and it failed the bend test, well I have that phone too and it's still with my grandmother running a custom ROM.

I think that a most realistic test would have been more intresting : how it survives (or not) a shock when it falls depending on the height, and how many times it Can fall before breaking.. these are more commo situations than a cutter or stepping on it (flexibility) as shown on this video..

Fun story - I've somehow managed to put a solid scrap along camera protectivve glass, even though maker of this video couldn't do it. And I think that scrap was made not by some metal object, but a mere bread crumb, while I was using stock silicone case, which goves 0 elevation and protection of camera glass.

i wonder anyone can do this in real usage 😄 nevertheless,amazing for a glass made phone; one needs an extra strength on both hands to break it.and not only once! such a durable phone indeed! 😊

Zack:built like other glass backed phones Also Zack:peels glass like a sticker

Waiting for the bend test on the Energizer 18,000 mah phone 😁

This is a true durability test.. Love it..

Out of curiousity: why do you prefer the bend over the drop test? I must say - I really enjoy you doing it, but I don't remember applying such pressure on my phone by mistake (maybe accidental sit/step on top of it). Dropping - that's like once every 2 months for me. So my math is: 1 year of life = 6 drops, and maaybe 1 little bend.

Been having my note 7 for 2.5 years now,dropped it twice, last year in the corner, it shattered a very small portion of glass,and yesterday, fell with its back onto concrete at a height of 1.6 meters, nothing broke but somehow it got air bubbles trapped under the glass,i have no idea how that happened

Jerry's palm strength to be designated as the new SI unit for smartphone durability. But what if Jerry does a lot of wrist curls for a few months?

1yr with this phone... absolutely no issues..it's cheap and fairly robust as well provided that you use a case always

0:58 - scratches at Level 6 with the Deeper Groves at Level 7 3:38 - Bend Test

Yeah!! Finally, the first foldable phone I can afford!! Thank you, Xiaomi!!

What a beautiful phone. Still looks beautiful even after it's broke.

Any chance of a durability test for Redmi Note 10 Pro? That's been a very popular phone according to gsmarena.

Thank you so much Zack for reviewing the these phones. I'm a Samsung fan. The other phones will never hold up to the build quality of Samsung.

Still using this phone.Awesome one from Xiaomi. ❤️

Samsung: we make foldable phones.. Jerry:Hold my cutter 😂😂😂😂

Oh well... I've been using the redmi note 3 that failed as well for almost 3 years now and was actually waiting for this model to replace it with. With a case it should be fine, if the 3 survived. The specs are too good for the price. Waiting on the Pro version though...

Super keen to see if the new hauwei mate x and galaxy s10 can handle the durability test and tear down

For any people who wants to buy the phone but are afraid, you don't have to worry, i been using one for a year now, right now im writing this on my redmi note 7, and so far, i haven't had problems, it's really durable, do keep in mind that i use a glass screen protector and a case, they aren't expensive, just for extra protection, i do recommend those as well, I also have give it heavy use, and still like new after a year, just a little dusty, i haven't cleaned it for a month, bit if you needed info from a actual user, we'll there it is.

Watching on my Redmi Note 7... Well at least I know the weak point of my phone. Something to look out for. It's not really a threat though, because even if I drop this phone on the floor many times it won't bend nor break the screen that easily like the previous Redmi phones. Even the back glass won't crack easily thanks to the gorilla glass 5 protection. Unless I apply force on purpose hitting those weak points on the button holes, the phone will surely break. Great video btw 👍

While Redmi 4/Redmi Note 4 could survive anything from getting bent to sides and front glass getting cracked (even with a huge web over display) and still work perfectly fine. 😄 but this is def. phone abuse, man😕

Scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7 Never get bored of that

That's why you should never miss JerryRig show... Thanks Jerry 😊

For some reason, i'm so glad that the back panel is made from glass. The plastic part is a bit bearable.

Achei muito satisfatório

Durability test should be a simulation of the daily setback that can occur with phones, like drop, fall in water, resistance of the connectors...

Been using it for more than a year, still working fine.

Moment of silence for this phone who sacrificed his life for the test 🙌

I LOVE how you criticise iPhone XR display at least once for durability test. Thumbs up.

Great durability test . I was wondering if my new Redmi would break if i bent it in half. Thanks 🤦

My 2 yrs and half old Redmi Note 7 is waving 👋 with multiple times accident but still ✌🏽😂

Breaking the phone, and carefully handles the fingerprint scanner 👏👏

Zack: Kinda like spotlights shining up into the sky after a... Me: Rock concert Zack: Nuclear apocalypse Me: O_o

Who came here to check whether technical guruji was right or wrong in his bend test for RN7.😁😁

Chega da uma dor vê ele fazendo isso nesse celular incrível ;-;

Crazy jerry rig!!!! That was amazing review, different from other typical reviews... Four thumbs up for you

*Xiaomi:* **doing a durability video of Note 7** *This phone is best in durability!* *Zack: Hold my strength.*

Tenho um e estou gostando muito!

Nowadays Xiaomi have resorted to using cheaper materials in their Note lineup, Plastic backs (similar to Samsung) and a very weak plastic frame that bends very easily if a little weight is applied

My fear of battery explosions during these bend tests.... 😧

Every phone should have 2 metal (iron?steel?) bars near the edges (with holes where needed) , should make the structure a lot better.

Ótimo Teste. Quero ver um Br fazer esse tipo de teste. Ficam só mostrando o que todos canais mostram.

Viéndolo desde mi Redmi Note 8 😍

I will still buy it as soon as the global ver. comes out. Good video! Btw, Still own 2 Redmi Note 3 and they work just fine. Im not bending them, just to be sure 😁✌️.

I'm still watching this on my redmi note 7 😂

Most awaited durability test is here !! Nice video !

Jerry is a person to trust before buying 😁

Lol!!!! I love “the shelf of shame” I wonder how many phones for 2019! :) thanks for the awesomeness, Zack. Love your videos. :) very neat and professional. Huge Thumbs up for you!!!

Jerry: walks into phone store Employees: not this guy again...

Dont expect too much for this price level, nevertheless still one of the best budget phone this year

Ale to boli jak dostałem nowego i to oglądam 😬

"All things fall out in time, some quicker than others." -JerryRigEverything

Well, I've never bent one of my phones even by accident, so I think it will survive for a long time XD but the info from the scratch test is appreciated

Soy la única que la pone muy nerviosa y sorprendida ver esto? Bueno es el primer video que veo de el, encima lo hace todo con una voz tan calmada

Mine had some falls where it should've broken ez but came out without a single scratch or broken screen, i have my doubts on this :v
